De Dietrich DOD 348

[davidelliot]

Customer reported no heat from main (lower) oven.

On arrival no functions of the main oven (fan oven) appeared to be working, however the fan and the fan element have power to them – 236v.

It appeared as though the neutral was missing, as 236v was present on both terminals of the fan oven element, and the fan motor.

There actually seamed to be 236v at almost all of the connections associated with the lower oven – including the turnspit motor.

There wasn’t a specific neutral connection either – the fan, fan element, lower element and upper element were all linked together and this wire terminated at one side of the turnspit motor connections.

The turnspit motor connections gave a reading of 12.4K ohms.

Has anybody come across this problem before?

Cheers

Hi Dave,

If the main oven fan and element are not working try the conventional oven if this heats check the door lock. This will normally result in the internal light staying on. The element is permanent live and neutral switched so will show mains voltage.
The door lock will result in the internal light staying on but due to the age may have gone and not been replaced.

Thanks for that ben–nevis.

Is the main oven door switch/lock easily accessible or is it a complete strip down?

Hi Dave,
Not a complete strip down, have to remove the top cover, upper and lower back, and upper and lower right hand side panel. The lock is held in with2 Torx 20 screws and you will need to undo the bracket that holds the 2 cavities at the back and prise them apart a little to remove.
